Overview
The Bromic Platinum Smart-Heat Marine Grade 2,300W is a slim electric infrared heater designed to disappear into a ceiling, wall or pergola. Infrared heats people and surfaces directly rather than the air, so you feel the warmth in seconds and it is not blown away the way a patio heater's warm air is. At 33" long, the 2,300W model suits a small seating area, a balcony or an outdoor kitchen counter.
Marine Grade models replace the standard 304 stainless steel with 316-grade stainless steel, which resists the corrosion caused by salt air. Choose it for homes on the coast, near a pool or anywhere the air is salty or humid.
Choosing the Right Wattage
Bromic rates the 2,300W model for about 65 sq. ft., the 3,400W for about 108 sq. ft. and the 4,500W for about 143 sq. ft. This 2,300W model is rated for 65 sq. ft. Heat area figures are Bromic's ratings in ideal, sheltered conditions. Wind, open sides and very cold nights reduce the area a heater can keep comfortable, so for large or exposed patios plan more than one heater.
Mounting and Installation
Minimum floor clearance is 72 inches for wall mounting and 96 inches for ceiling mounting. The heater can be mounted on a wall or ceiling bracket, hung on 2- or 4-foot suspension poles, or recessed flush into the ceiling with Bromic's recess kit, which needs at least 10" of space above the heater (the Low Clearance Recess Kit is available when you have less). It requires a 220-240V circuit drawing 9.6A; have a licensed electrician install it according to local codes.
Smart Controls
Bromic heaters are designed to be controlled with the Affinity Smart-Heat collection (sold separately): the On/Off controller switches one or several heaters, and the Dimmer controller adjusts the heat output from 0 to 100%. A standard manual wall switch also works.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work on a 120V outlet?
No. These models are 220-240V. Bromic also makes 208V versions for commercial buildings; contact us if you need one.
Can it be used under a covered patio or pergola?
Yes. That is where it works best. Respect the minimum clearances (72" wall, 96" ceiling) and the clearances to combustibles in the installation manual.
How do I choose between Platinum and Tungsten?
Platinum is the slimmer, design-focused heater with a tinted glass face. Tungsten costs less per watt and has an industrial honeycomb look.
